Steve Taylor - Shortstop lyrics

Some for the money Some for the show Some for the credit Some expect it from the get go Some get bush-leagued Some win the rings Some get high reflecting glory that the good Lord brings Shortstop, standing in the lurch Bridging faith and field research High-wire balance, every move is inspired Hedge your bets and handicaps Shortstop's here to mind the gaps Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired? Who will rise up? Who will rise up? Who will rise up? Some get lazy Fake like they're lame Some warm benches Got no pa**ion for the big game Who's got spirit? Who do you love? Whose right hand is firmly planted in a golden glove? Shortstop, standing in the lurch (In the lurch) Bridging faith and field research (Field research) High-wire balance, every move is inspired (Every little move now) Hedge your bets and handicaps (Put your money up) Shortstop's here to mind the gaps (Mind the gaps) Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired? (Who's He gonna rise up?) (And the moral of the story?) (And the moral of the story?) Never send a towel-snapping, Cup-adjusting, Glory-grabbing, Full o' baloney, Sanctimony-spewing rookie in To do a big man's job (Yessiree, Bob) Shortstop, standing in the lurch (Standing in the middle, every little move) Bridging faith and field research (Every little move, every little move) High-wire balance, every move is inspired (Every little move, every little move) Hedge your bets and handicaps (Put your money up) Shortstop's here to mind the gaps (Standing in the middle, standing in the middle) Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired? (Standing in the middle, standing in the middle) (Standing in the middle, now) Shortstop, standing in the lurch (Standing in the middle) Bridging faith and field research (Standing in the middle) High-wire balance, every move is inspired (Every little move now) Hedge your bets and handicaps (Put your money up) Shortstop's here to mind the gaps (Mind the gaps) Lord, who will rise up when that number's retired? (Who's He gonna rise up?) Who will rise up? Who will rise up? Who will rise up? Who will rise up?
